ORLANDO — For the seventh consecutive game, the Trail Blazers will be without their All-Star power forward.

LaMarcus Aldridge will not play tonight when the team visits the Orlando Magic, missing yet another game because of a lower back contusion.

The three-time All-Star went through a pregame shooting workout at Amway Center — similar to what he might do before a game he would play in — suggesting that he's inching closer to a return. But it's unclear when he'll play again.

When asked if Aldridge needed to participate in a practice before being cleared to play, coach Terry Stotts was noncommittal.

"I don't know," Stotts said.

The Blazers will continue their five-game trip on Thursday in Atlanta, where they will play the first game of a back-to-back that also includes a Friday matchup in Chicago.

Aldridge, who leads the Blazers in scoring (23.4 points per game) and rebounding (11.1 per game), has not played since injuring his back during a loss to the San Antonio Spurs on March 12. They Blazers are 3-3 during the stretch.
